Current Skincare Routine (Updated)

It has been quite some time since I last blogged about my skincare routine, and a lot has changed since then, so I thought it was only right that I did an updated post. If you want to see the original post I did then you can read it here. I have oily/combination/acne prone skin so these are the products I am currently using to try and keep things under control. I've never been completely happy with my skincare routine, and I'm still not, but so far I'm enjoying using these products and haven't had any major problems. 
Michael Todd True Organics Charcoal Detox Cleanser
This is the cleanser I have been using for the past few months. It's nice to use because it isn't drying or stripping on the skin, but cleanses it really well. I use this morning and night, and it is really good at removing my makeup (especially eye makeup) after wearing it all day. 

Lush Tea Tree Water Toner
I love this toner because it is so refreshing and invigorating to use on my skin. I use this in the mornings because it is such a lovely 'wake me up' spray that just controls oil and allows me to start the day fresh faced. 

Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner
This is my nighttime toner that I use particularly after a day of wearing makeup because it just helps to remove anything my cleanser may have missed, and allows me to go to bed with a really clean and smooth face. It is 100% alcohol free which is something I always look for in toners. Plus it has vitamins and nutrients which are so beneficial for the skin.
Natio Acne Clear Day Daily Repair Oil Free Moisturiser 
I have only been using this product for a couple of weeks, but so far I'm really liking it. I wish it had SPF in it, but that is something that I can easily apply myself anyway so it's not a deal breaker. It's nice and moisturising without being oily or greasy and seems to do a good job at keeping breakouts under control. 

Natio Acne Clear Night Repair Moisture Treatment
This is the partner product of the moisturiser above, but for night time instead. I'm also really enjoying using this product. They have an organic smell about them which is sometimes not as lovely as something artificial, but who wants to put artificial fragrances on their face? Not me! It seems to be doing a good job of calming things down overnight.

Re-Gen Cream
I use this cream at night time to add extra hydration, and to also help with the fading of my scars and blemishes. I have been using this on and off for about a year now, and while it hasn't worked miracles, I do notice a difference using it. Plus I really like the smell of it for some reason. 
Garnier Dark Spot Treatment Night Serum
This is my night time serum that I use to help with the fading of my dark spots. I have noticed that my dark spots have gotten lighter over the past few months, and so I'm thinking it is this product that deserves the credit for that. 

Nuxe Creme Nirvanesque
I'm actually not entirely sure what this product is meant to be used for, but as it says that it is a first expression lines cream that smoothes, de-stresses and relaxes I thought it would be perfect to use as an eye cream. So that is what I have been using it is. I really like it actually. But as this was a sample in last months Bellabox and I didn't pay for it, I'm not entirely sure whether I would buy the full sized product, but we'll see.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil
This is my spot treatment. Tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial and I really like this product. Not much else to say about it, really.
Natio Clay and Plant Face Mask Purifier 
This is another recently purchased item and I have used it a few times so far and I really like it. It feels nice on my skin and seems to do a good job of cleansing like a mask should. 

The Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask
I have mentioned this product a few times before so you guys know that I love it. It's a really great treatment mask that I use once a week and it definitely does make a difference in the long term. 

That concludes my skincare routine! No doubt it will continue to change in the future, so I will write another updated post again once that happens. If you have any questions about these products or anything else don't hesitate to leave a comment!
